What comes into existence as a result of it? Spirit self, or manas, is the outcome of what a man consciously instils into his astral body; what he consciously instils into his etheric body, but this is dependent upon occult training, is known as buddhi or life spirit. What happens if the ego eventually becomes able to work consciously into the physical body, to inculcate forces into the physical body itself? Through occult training this can actually be brought about consciously through the breathing process but there must be great caution and sensitivity of procedure, for through false methods of training such as are often given in public literature, a European body can be seriously harmed; knowledge of what is suitable for the constitution of a modern human being is essential. Through a conscious method of breathing the physical body can be transformed by the ego into atman or spirit man.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Es besteht bei dieser Bearbeitung der drei unteren Glieder ein beträchtlicher Unterschied: dieselbe geschieht bewußt oder unbewußt. Unbewußt, das heißt ohne daß der betreffende Mensch es weiß, durch das Betrachten und Insich-Aufnehmen künstlerischer Werke, Bilder und so weiter, durch hingebende Andacht und Gebetsverrichtungen. Es sind sich aber die Menschen dessen nicht bewußt, daß sie an ihrem Äther- und Astralleib arbeiten; das bewußte Arbeiten daran beginnt verhältnismäßig spät. Wir haben also zu unterscheiden ein bewußtes und ein unbewußtes Arbeiten des Menschen an den unteren Wesensgliedern. Es besteht der menschliche Astralleib aus zwei Gliederungen: einem unbewußten und einem bewußten Teil. Den Teil des Astralleibes, der vom Ich aus in unbewußter Weise durchgearbeitet wurde, nennt man die Empfindungsseele; diese ist beim Menschen heute fertig durchgebildet. Was unbewußt am Ätherleib vom Ich aus bearbeitet wurde, das ist die Verstandesseele. Was im physischen Leibe unbewußt seit langer Zeit umgearbeitet worden ist, das ist die Bewußtseinsseele. So unterscheiden wir also am Menschen den physischen Leib, den Ätherleib, den Astralleib und das Ich, und von diesem als vom Astralleib unbewußt Umgearbeitetem die Empfindungsseele; vom Ätherleib die Verstandesseele; vom physischen Leib die Bewußtseinsseele. Wir haben also sechs, beziehungsweise sieben Glieder der menschlichen Natur, die so entstanden sind, daß der Mensch unbewußt an sich gearbeitet hat. Nun beginnt das bewußte Arbeiten. Was entsteht dadurch? Es ist dasjenige, was der Mensch bewußt in den Astralleib hineinarbeitet, das Geistselbst oder Manas; was der Mensch bewußt an seinem Ätherleib arbeitet - das aber geschieht erst bei einer bewußten okkulten Schulung -, nennt man die Buddhi oder den Lebensgeist. Und was geschieht dann, wenn das Ich einmal in die Lage kommt, den physischen Leib bewußt zu bearbeiten, das heißt Kräfte bis in den physischen Leib hineinzuarbeiten? Durch okkulte Schulung, durch den Atmungsprozeß kann das wirklich bewußt geschehen, aber es muß dabei sehr vorsichtig und sehr subtil zu Werke gegangen werden, denn bei falscher Schulung, wie sie oft in öffentlichen Schriften gegeben wird, kann man auch dem Körper des Europäers sehr schaden, und man muß wissen, was der Konstitution des modernen Menschen angemessen ist. Durch solche bewußte Atmung wird dann der physische Körper vom Ich aus umgestaltet zu Atman oder dem Geistesmenschen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":385,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/109/1909-06-05/p015"}],"english":["GA 109/1909-06-05/p016","GA 109/1909-06-05/p017"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":385,"en_words":440,"ratio":1.14,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 109/1909-06-05/p015"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.1,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3886,"original_word_count":3543,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
